Valentine's Day does not define the worth of an individual or the quality of their relationships.
If you’re single and spending Valentine’s Day among the world’s most content couples and if you’re already struggling with anxiety or depression, this can be a significant trigger.
It may seem like everyone else in the world has found their soul mate except you, with everyone carefully curating their social media feeds to show the best version of themselves – rather than who they really are.?
Do not compare your relationship to others or equate your partner's love to an expensive gift or red roses.?
Worse still you could be in a relationship but be dreadfully unhappy and equally anxious and depressed.
Valentine’s day is a great opportunity for everyone single or coupled to reflect on your values, goals and priorities for all of your relationships.
Whether you are in a relationship or if you are single this Valentines day, love your friends, love your family, love your pets and love yourself.?
The world needs more love.
